Dr. Judd Stevens is a psychoanalyst faced with the most critical case of his life. He needs to penetrate the mind of a murderer.
If he does not, he will find himself arrested for murder. Or be murdered himself.
Two people close to Dr. Stevens have already been killed. Is one of his patients responsible? Someone overwhelmed by problems?
A neurotic driven by compulsion? A madman? Before the murderer strikes again, Stevens must strip away the mask of innocence the criminal wears, uncover his or her inner emotions, fears, and desires, and expose the naked face beneath. But who could it be?
My Review of The Naked Face by Sidney Sheldon
As expected, Sheldon created magic in this Psychological thriller.
Dr. Judd Stevens is a renowned Psychoanalyst, who leads his life normally, as every other doctor would.
Having lost his family in an accident a few years back, Stevens chooses to drown himself in work and more work, and all efforts by his best friend Dr. Peter Hardley to make him fall in love again and pick up his happy life back, are shoved by the side.
Because apparently, Stevens loves living a bland life. However, an unexpected event occurs, which flings in excitement and thrill in Stevens' once boring life.
Now he's running from unknown assassins, faced with a web of puzzles he must crack, and is scared any moment would be his last on earth.
One thing is for sure, a homicidal paranoiac is on the loose, and he has only a mission, to kill Dr. Judd Stevens.
But he's sure he has no enemies, so who in the world wants to seize his breath for good?
The Naked face is unputdownable. Your heart is racing, alongside the fast-paced plot.
The plot twist is maddening, and the ending, comforting. In all, this is a fascinating book, written in a concise and humorous language.
